Lettes'Patent No. 91957, dated June 29,1869.

IMPROTVTEMENT IN PLOW-CLEANER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thes ame.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, J'. MILES and E. P. MILES, oi' Pleasant Hill, inthe county of Miami, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Plow-Cleaners; and we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full,clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in thc art to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of thisspeciiication.

This invention relates to improvements in plowcleaning devices, such aspatented by ns, January S, 1867, and numbered 61,083, the object beingto make the apparatus therein described applicable for attachment, so asto be readily removed from one side to another of any plow, also foradjustment veitcally, as hereinafter more fully specified.

The drawing represents a perspective view of ay plow, with our improvedcleaner applied to it.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding Parts.

A represents a curved bar of metal, or other suitable substance, havinga widened end, B, and snpported in brackets G', depending from the sideof the plow-beam, in a manner to slide freely into the corner betweenthe lower face of the beam and the front of the coulter, where theclogging takes place, to force the gathered and'clog'giug matters away.l

The said bar is so formed and the brackets so placed, that thedischarging-emi B, of the said'bar, curves around, crossing the plane ofthe said coulter.

The discharger is operated by a hand-lever, C, pivoted to the beam, andprovided with a spring to force it back.

Our present improvement consists in constructing the brackets E F, sothat they may be adjusted on the beam, as to height, by making theslotted holes in the top thereof for the holding-bolts; also inarranging them for application to either side of the plow, by theemployment of holding-bolts G, which may be readily screwed into thewood or out, and the provision of holes'for them on either side ofthebeam; also, in

providiu g a similar arrangement for changing 'the sup- Y What we claimas new, and desire to secure by Leti ters Patent, is-

lhe combination, with a plow, ofthe curved slidingfy cleaning-bar A,when arranged to be adjusted vertically, and from side to side of thebeam, substantially as specified.
